This is the first archive release that follows the bizarre works of Henry Kawahara, a musician who was active in the underground currents of Japanese cyber occultism and media art in the early 1990s, and has stunned the world as being "groundbreaking."
Almost all of the songs on this compilation are favorite versions of the composer and unreleased songs, and the CD version comes with two bonus discs, making it a three-disc set.

The lost cassette "Computer Café Music," produced for the sound installation event "Ikebukuro Dennou Café" (1991), which seemed to combine contemporary music with a cyber-occult sensibility, has been reissued on CD.
The intertwining of rational contemporary music and the mysterious world of the occult cyberspace was a very short period of time, and this work is a rare, behind-the-scenes historical document that pinpoints that intertwining. Commentary by Koji Kawasaki, a leading figure in Japanese electronic music.
